"God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship
Him in Spirit and Truth." John 4:24

God has a beautiful garden full of flowers. Friday morning, He decided to pick another to add to his collection. Although our hearts are heavy and tears may flow, we are not dismayed because "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in our time of need."
